It seems that Hawthorne Sterling Trios are gaining a cult following lately.

My OBs in post #130 has developed/degenerated into a hybrid system with OB mid/high and closed bass boxes.
Not that I don´t like dipole bass but i didn´t get it to work well in my small room, couldn´t place the speakers much more than 2 feet from the wall.
Open baffle works fairly well from ~150Hz and up thanks to a massive effort in "taming" the acoustics of the room, below that I use active bass absorption.

looking on ebay for an eminence woofer i stumbled upon their CX series
10" and 12" coaxial design (50-20khz) priced in the 50e
would it suit openbaffle use? cheap alternative to hawthornes?

I don't know if these are ultimate OBs (or whether it is the thread that is ultimate) but these baffles have sure been useful for testing drivers. Currently have a set of Omnes 8 and are in their Halloween outfit and in their "storage" spot

Very interesting approach, the "Arkangel". The designer claims no xo, not sure how he runs the tweeters though.

He obviously makes two parallel groups of three in series and hopes that the combined power rating will be enough for fullrange operation.
Plenty of goodies I found today from sixmoon. Quite an old report.
Sound Science made things big. On display was the Acoustic Line Array Acoustic Lens with waveguide.
E.A.R too entered the speaker fold this year. And guess what -- no, better don't -- it also is an open-baffle 3-way.
